ConnectQuickBooks connector

A QuickBooks connector for ChatGPT.

We’re building one-click connection from ChatGPT to LedgerLou, so ChatGPT can work with every QuickBooks Online company you’ve connected. It isn’t available yet. Here’s what it will do, and what works today.

  • ChatGPT: coming soon

What ChatGPT will do

ChatGPT, working in your QuickBooks.

ChatGPT will get the same tools as every agent on Connect, and pick the right one for what you ask.

Look anything up

Find invoices, bills, expenses, customers and vendors with a QuickBooks query, or read one record in full.

Run reports

Profit and Loss, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, Trial Balance, General Ledger, and aged receivables and payables.

Make the changes you allow

With a read-and-write key: create and edit transactions, void or delete them, and email invoices and estimates.

Files and PDFs

Attach a receipt to an expense, or fetch the PDF of an invoice to save or send on.

Every company, one key

A key reaches every QuickBooks company connected to your LedgerLou account.

The whole accounting API

Fourteen tools cover the QuickBooks Online accounting API, not a few canned actions.

Every tool, and what each one does, is in the tool reference.

Try asking

The kind of thing you’ll ask.

Questions

  • ›What did we spend on software this year, by vendor?
  • ›Which customers owe us more than $1,000?
  • ›Compare this quarter’s Profit and Loss with last quarter’s.

Changes

  • ›Create an invoice for Northside Dental for 10 hours at $150.
  • ›Recategorize the Uber charges from Meals to Travel.
  • ›Email the overdue invoices a reminder copy.

In your control

You decide what an agent can touch.

Read-only or read-and-write

You choose per key. A read-only key can look things up and run reports but can't change anything.

Revoke at any time

Revoke a key under Settings → API keys and it stops working at once.

A record of every write

Each change made through Connect is recorded, whether it succeeded or failed.

Worth knowing: Connect doesn't use Lou's approval gate. A change posts when the agent makes it, so the agent’s own confirmation is the checkpoint. If you only want answers, create a read-only key.

Questions

QuickBooks and ChatGPT, answered.

Can I connect ChatGPT to LedgerLou today?

Not yet. We're building one-click connection from ChatGPT. Today, Connect works with Claude Code and with other agents that connect to an MCP server with a key.

What will ChatGPT be able to do in QuickBooks?

The same as any agent on Connect: look up records, run reports and, if you allow it, create and edit transactions, attach files and fetch PDFs, across every QuickBooks company on your LedgerLou account.

Will ChatGPT's changes need my approval?

Connect doesn't use Lou's approval gate: a change posts when the agent makes it, and read-only access keeps an agent to answers. If you want each change previewed and approved first, ask Lou inside LedgerLou.

What can I use until then?

Ask Lou, our built-in bookkeeper, which works on the same books and waits for your approval. Or connect Claude Code, or another MCP agent such as Grok's command-line tool, Cursor or VS Code, with a LedgerLou key.

Want every change previewed first?

“Ask me inside LedgerLou. I work in the same QuickBooks companies, draft each change for you to review, and post nothing until you approve it.”
